Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins {Paleo & Whole30}

Whip up a batch of these easy Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins and have a savory breakfast or snack ready to go. They’re Paleo and Whole30 friendly, low carb, dairy free, and taste like delicious sausage pizza, I promise!

To continue from where I left off last Tuesday, Adam is still sort of eating Paleo-ish (60/40?) with the exception of Kind granola, kid leftovers, and probably a few other things that I’m not aware of. It’s all good for me though, because he’s actually started to notice the things I cook now, besides dinner, and look at them (or eat them) with new appreciation.

Exhibit A – He eats one of these Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins last week. Now, as you guys know, I make a lot of things with eggs. No, really, I do, check out like almost all of my recipes. Anyway, he ate a couple of them and in all seriousness, asked me if it was an original recipe (he’s been doing this more lately, starting to have a hard time taking it as a compliment.) I’m like “um yeah have you met me? have you not eaten my original recipes for almost 10 years? have you noticed the blog?” Really, I’m not mad, and I AM taking it as a compliment.

Anyway, he liked the sausage pizza egg muffins and ate half the batch in a day. I would too if someone made these for me and it meant I didn’t have to think about 2 of my meals. In addition to paleo-ish husband friendly, I’m also going to claim these as kid friendly, because Diana was happy to eat these and ask for more. Even though she eats like a grown-up she still counts as a kid over here 🙂

Exhibit B – Since I started with exhibit A I need to at least have a B to follow up – wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone. (I really should’ve taken a picture now that I think of it, oops.) Exhibit B is me burning my breakfast hash of bacon and sweet potatoes this morning while I attempted to unload the dishwasher and scramble eggs for the kids while I made this hash. I’ve never seen Adam eat sweet potatoes for breakfast, but, figure I’d offer him the charred hash before throwing it out and starting over.

Not only was he happy to eat it along with 2 fried eggs, but, he RAVED about it. Adam is a person who ate a plain cinnamon raisin bagel with nothing on it every day for breakfast for 20 years or something. Bacon and sweet potatoes is a nice step up, and I hope it continues for a while longer. Think he’ll let me teach him how to actually cook? I know, I shouldn’t push it. Let the butterfly go, and maybe it will come back and ask for cooking lessons. Maybe one day the butterfly will even cook YOU a sweet potato hash!

And now back to my genius (kidding) Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins! While they might not be technically genius or breaking new ground over here, they really are delicious, and that’s enough for me!

Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins {Paleo, Whole30, Low Carb}

Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins {Paleo & Whole30}

These Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins are a delicious and savory breakfast, brunch, or snack that's easy to make ahead of time! They're Paleo, Whole30 friendly, low carb, and dairy free.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a 12 cup muffin tin well with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Heat a medium or large skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tsp coconut oil to the skillet. Add the sausage and a dash of crushed red pepper, and break up lumps of sausage with a wooden spoon. If using the garlic*, add it to the pan when the sausage is halfway browned

Continue to cook and stir. Once the sausage is nearly fully browned, add the chopped sundried tomatoes and stir into the mixture. Cook another minute, then remove from heat and set aside.

In a very large bowl, whisk together the eggs, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Then, pour the entire sausage mixture into the eggs and combine.

Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way to the top (they'll rise over the cups, which is fine) until the mixture is used up (I made 12) and bake in the preheated oven about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the muffins just begin to brown.

Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes before serving. If making ahead, you can refrigerated them in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

Usually my favorite original recipes stem from a recipe I found and then adapted over the years, but I guess that’s the case with most original recipes, right?
This may be something I could even get Rob to eat for breakfast:)

Right, it has to be that way! I always figured growing up, that the Betty Crocker cookbook was the authority on everything and I still go back to that cookbook for ideas 🙂 And I think Rob would eat this if Adam did.

I’m not sure any recipe is original anymore. That’s why I don’t think a cook book is in my future. Too many versions of the same thing. Now these muffins you know I love! I need to try adding sausage. Never done that before.

I totally hear you! Everything is a variation on something else, even if we also created the something else, if that makes sense! There are some ideas that are pretty cool though that I wish I’d thought of!

I’ve been surprised by what my brother is liking no-a-days. Everything I make (even the weirder stuff) he says is good…which is new… And he is always eating things like eggs which he never liked (I don’t approve of this but…) and he is even making them himself without burning the house down (big step for that 21 year old)!

I love that these are pizza! I haven’t tried anything with that type of seasoning, but these look delicious. I’m the person that could definitely wake up and eat cold pizza in the morning (if it would make me feel good all day, which it wouldn’t) but these would be a great alternative!

Oh gosh, I always think about how recipes are’t fully “original.” It is a deep question and probably controversial- ha. I like to think my grandmother’s recipes are hers and hers alone but even she told me she followed a recipe from an old cookbook.

So true, the whole idea with recipes is that they’re passed down over and over again! There are basic ways of cooking things and recipes are all just twists on those basics. What is a recipe anyway, lol?!

I refuse to do any deep thinking before I’ve had my morning coffee, so I’ll think about the original recipe thing later 😛 And I always secretly love it when either my dad or male friends enjoy my recipes. I don’t know if it’s because guys seem to be tougher critics when it comes to healthy recipes or what, but when it gets their nod of approval, then I know it’s a good one.

I definitely think that men are harsher critics for healthier stuff, at least openly! I think women feel like they “should” like healthy stuff so aren’t as quick to knock it, but when a man likes something you know he truly does!

I love egg muffins, such a creative and perfect on the go breakfast idea! I like to consider the ones I make mini frittatas to fancy up my morning 🙂 I definitely appreciate when my dad, my brother, or my BF like desserts or other recipes I make because it’s a “real food” seal of approval…

Oooooooh, I like the sound of these. I know the kids would eat them! Must try. My go-to thing that I make is umm…. brownies from the boxed mix from Costco, except I throw in some mini marshmallows or Skor bits. Just keeping it real!

I love eggs something fierce as well as sausage so these are so getting made! I have a habit of just throwing random things together without measuring or anything based on what I have lying around does that count as original? haha. The hard part is when something is really good I cannot give out the recipe…or duplicate it.

Yummmm eggs and sausage in one cute little compact treat! I frequently think that about recipes also, but I figure as long as it’s not copied from someone and the methods and flavors are unique to you, it’s original! It’s hard to be genuinely original because there’s only so many ways of cooking and serving food, and so many recipes rely on certain ratios.

My hubby used to do the same thing back in the early days of blogging, ask if the meal was one of mine or someone else recipe. In all fairness, I make both and I’m fortunate enough to have him help cook with me and sometimes even for me. He knows if he wants to eat, he needs to take part in the activity too.

I’m all about the bagels for breakfast for night (must be a pregnancy thing), although I toast them and smother them in butter and/or cream cheese. Mmmm.

I just made these and the flavor was delicious. My batch made 15 so I used 2 muffin pans. The first I greased with the coconut oil as directed but the second I greased with ghee. The coconut oil ones stuck, badly….but the ones with ghee popped right out. Not sure if it’s the shortening or the pan. Thanks for sharing your original recipe!

Just made the Sausage Pizza Muffins…added a cup of fresh spinach.
Wish I could post a photo of how wonderful the muffins turned out!
Delicious!!!
So many possibilities with various spices, and / or vegetables.
This recipe will become part of my recipe file.

Started Whole30 two weeks ago with my family. I made these this morning (made 16 with my muffin pan and ingredients) and they were all gone within an hour! Also, I was very surprised because I have been having an adverse reaction to eggs for the past year, even two weeks ago something like this would have caused me to be sick, but since I’ve been on Whole30 that reaction has gone away. Perhaps I am just discovering some kind of sensitivity or reaction to eggs with something else, but it was truly amazing.

Michele, these are absolutely delicious!!! I made them this week for my Whole 30 Breakfast and didn’t even realize how good they are served cold, until just yesterday! I think I like them even better – just like cold pizza 🙂 I recently found your blog and I just have to tell you that you speak my language when it comes to food! Looking forward to following your blog and making many more yummy recipes. Thanks for blogging!

Just made these to grab for breakfast before work this week. They came out great! I used a 24 muffin pan, followed the recipe exactly and it made exactly 24 muffins. I cooked them at 400 for 12 minutes. Of course I already ate two of them and my husband ate one. If there are any left I will enjoy them this week!

These look absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend was diagnosed with Hasimotho’s last month and I am trying to cook more Paleo inspired meals that he would actually love. I follow a keto diet but he’s such a fast food lover

I have made this several times. I use bell peppers instead of sun dried tomatoes(family doesn’t care for tomatoes) I also spoon the meat into the muffin cups and pour the egg mixture over the top. I have also added spinach.

OMG! These are so delicious! I thought your breakfast casserole was good, but these are unbelievable. They taste like pizza! I wasn’t sure I believed you(because things rarely taste like something they’re not) until I tasted them. They are super handy for me because I’m in a rush in the mornings, but these are so portable I think they’ll be my new breakfast staple.

Excellent recipe. Easy to make. Filling. Taste. I did find that using olive oil spray for muffin pans makes for easier removal. Coconut oil wasn’t very good for greasing the pans. Will make again. Thanks for the recipe!

[…] I do realize it’s not rocket science and that egg muffins have been done before (these sausage pizza egg muffins are consistently a top recipe!) But, isn’t there something fun and special about them, […]

[…] We had made these before, although with cheese, so we left out the cheese and just followed this recipe, adding the (compliant) sun-dried tomatoes and the extra spices, which I hadn’t added before. […]
